GREASE CONTAINER FOR USE IN GREASE GUNS.

Application led February 9, 1925. Serial No. 7,785.

It is the primary object of my inventionI to provide a grease container of simple and inexpensive construction that can be easily and quickly placed into or removed from a grease gun. l

It is another object of my invention to provide a container wherein grease may be shipped or stored and at the same time held for immediate use in a grease gun.

With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in the arrangement, combination and construction of the various parts ol5 my improved device asdescribed in the speciiication, claimed in my claim and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figz1 is a front elevation of my improved device showing its position in a grease gun.

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of my improved device ready for shipment.

In the construction or' my improved device, I provide a paper or cardboard tube 10, into which the top oi Wooden block head 11, and the Wooden bottom or base 12 are fitted.

Gn the underside of the head 11 is placed a paper or cardboard cup 18 that has the flanged end 111-, and on the inner side ot the base 12 is placed a similar cup 15 with the flanged end 16. The flanged ends 14 and 16 fit tight against the inner surface 1'? ot the container 10, thus preventing the extrusion ot grease around the edges ot the container when pressure is placed on the head 11. The base 12 with the cup 15, has an aperture 18 therein, which provides the outlet for the grease.

The inner surface 17 of the container 10, the cup 13 and the cup 15 may be paral'lined, or otherwise chemically treated, so that the grease will not penetrate through them.

Nails 19 are placed in the head 11 so thaI their ends 20 extend from the underside thereof.

When my improved device is shipped or placed in storage, a plug. 21 with the tapered shank 22 is toi-ced into the aperture 1S, and the paper covers 23 are secured4 over and around the topand bottom of the con. tainer 10 by the brads 24 which extend into the head 11 and the base 12, as shown in Fig. 2.

In th-e practical use of my device, the plug 21 is removed from the aperture 18, and the block 12 of' the. container placed on the base 2G of a grease gun 27, so that the tapered nipple 25 on the base entends into the aperture 18 of the grease containervvith the top of the nipple substantially Hush with the top of the block 12. The head 11 is likewise placed under the plunger 29 of the grease gun so that the flanged hea-d 30 thereof eX- tends over the nails 19. Thus when downward pressure is applied on the plunger 29, the same Will press the head 11, Which in turn forces the grease out through the aperture 18 and the nipple 25 into the outlet 2S of the grease gun 27.

IVhen the grease is almost exhausted, the ends 2O of the nails 19 in the head 11 Will be forced into the bottom 12, thereby making it impossible to re-use the container 10.

It will be noted that my device provides an economical and practical const r ction for the handling and disposition et' grease and also one wherein complete removal of the grease in the container is obtained Without possibility of leakage.

It is obvious that various changes may be made in the arrangement, combination and construction of the various parts oi my improved device Withou departing from the spirit of my invention, and it is my intentie-n to cover by my claim such changes as may be. reasonably included Within the scope thereof.

What I claim is:

A grease container consisting of a cardboard Qr paper tube, a Wooden head and a Wooden base itted in said tube and nails extending through sai-d head so that the ends of said nails are adapted to enter the base when the head is forced down.
